Itinerary

Meet a driver at your hotel, then transfer to an ATV base camp near El Migriño River, on the Pacific-facing side of the Baja peninsula. Upon arrival at the base camp, meet the staff and get suited up for your ATV ride (entrance fees to the camp are not included in this tour).

Start with a short briefing on ATV safety and handling, then gun your engine as you drive into the surrounding desert. Ride past small streams that cross the arid landscape, and steer your ATV into dry canyons. Emerge from the desert on Migriño Beach, a picture-perfect spot lined with dunes and ocean cliffs.

After exploring the beach on four wheels, loop back to the starting point, where you’ll meet a driver for the return trip.

Hidden fees

David_V, Apr 2026

The ATV’s were fun but they have an add on fee of 50 per person for a resort fee, then if anyone needs an automatic because they don’t know how to operate a manual transmission ATV then you have to upgrade your ATV. Then they also charge you for additional vehicle and then personal insurance. Overall I was upcharged 150 dollars, double the original price. Had I known this I would have reconsidered. Definitely not going back and I would think twice and seek as much clarification as possible about the price before booking.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience felt more expensive than expected and that the additional costs were not clear at the time of booking. We understand how frustrating it can be when upgrades and required fees are not fully anticipated, and we recognize the importance of transparent communication before arrival. In general, certain elements such as park access fees, insurance, and vehicle type (manual vs. automatic) can affect the final price depending on the selection and availability. However, these should always be clearly explained in advance, and we regret if that was not your experience. Your comments are important and will be shared with our team to improve clarity in the booking process and with our partners. We would like to review your case in more detail. Please contact us at community@cactustours.com with your booking information so we can assist you further.

Go anywhere else!

Andre_A, Feb 2026

We purchased 6 tickets for the ATV tour at 4pm. As soon as we booked, they started upselling for a private tour for an additional $35 per person.They picked us up at 3:30pm, driver was safe. When we arrived, there were a huge line, full of people with purchased tickets waiting to sign in. We waited an hour in that line for them to try to upsell us —$25 per person for park pass (it’s a public beaxh), $25 per person for insurance (this is a business that should have its own insurance for the vehicle), $25 personal injury insurance (urgent care immediately as you enter). If you want to waive the insurance, it’s a $750 deposit. I found all of this offensive and unnecessary. Since they have a captive audience, they have a gift shop, food shop, tequila tasting are, clothing store, so you can spend more money there. We chose some $6 sodas and waters. The bathrooms were clean. Both pick up and drop off you’re going to kill time because they fill the bus to the brim with so many stops. By the time we got to the front of the line with our waiver, it was 5:10pm, then another 20 minutes for them to accumulate 20 people to be on your tour. So, 5:30pm, we head out to ATV & the sun sets at 6pm. The 2.5 hour tour was mostly in the dark, so the beach and sunset views were limited. Our tour guide was decent but it was a slow tour. ATV’s were in good shape. No pictures available for tours that happen in the dark. When you finish, they try to push their tequila tasting. More time wasted on waiting for the bus and a milllion stops on the way home. Our driver was very kind and safe. This is the most offensive tour I’ve ever had. We have ATV toured at others & you literally sign the waver, they hand you a water bottle + gear & you get going. Will not return. Total tourist trap, bait and switch. Entirely unapologetic. This was a terrible experience

Fun for teens

Greg_H, Jan 2026

Our teens had so much fun driving through the desert and onto the beach. We had a great guide and were the only ones in our group.

Hidden fees not worth it!

Desiree_R, Jan 2026

Lots of hidden fees Can’t drive unless your 16 years old Doesn’t state anything about $45 per riders for each ATV. Was a lot of money extra to get in

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you again for your feedback. It truly helps us improve.

The experience itself is...

ZYLIZA_W, Dec 2025

The experience itself is good. However, there are additional charges that we have to make like the national park fee of $25 each person. Otherwise we will not be able to do the activities we signed up for. Also, they will also try to sell you an upgrade in the ATV as the one listed on the Viator site they said was manual and not automatic. So they will try to get you by offering a cheaper price for the activity and you’ll end up paying more.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello, very good morning 😊 We wish you a wonderful start to the year. We recommend all our visitors visit our website, where you can find detailed information about our tours and everything related to the park entrance. It will be our pleasure to help you with any questions you may have!

Too many hidden fees

Gopi_A, Dec 2025

There were a lot of hidden fees they were asking for fees to upgrade the ATV ,fees to enter the park, fees for insurance .I felt it was like a baiting switch

Great experience for a first timer

Lisa_G, Nov 2025

Great experience. Our guide Leon was absolutely fantastic!!! Only negative was no water was provided and you are out in the heat on ATV’s for 2 hrs so I wish we’d have been provide that with our activity and not been made to but it .

Tour Guide: 10/10 Scenery: 10/10, Experience: 1/10

Bobbi_S, Nov 2025

I truly wish I could give more stars, but the only one goes to our amazing guide, Luis (Luigi). He did everything he could within the limited time we had and made the best of a disappointing situation. That said, the overall experience felt like a scam. If you’re an experienced rider, please know this is a very slow-paced trail ride — minimal speed, minimal excitement, and mostly just about the scenery. The beach was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see whales, which was the highlight of the ride. Luis also pointed out some interesting sights along the way, which we appreciated. However, the organization and communication from the company were extremely poor. We were offered an “upgrade” to a private tour with promises of being able to go faster and use our phones for photos. Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth it. You’re only allowed to take selfies during a quick stop, and the guides cannot take photos for you. Instead, they take their own photos with nice cameras — which cost $20 per photo or over $100 for 8–10 pictures. Many of these turned out blurry, tilted, or low-quality (a few were decent, and yes, I did purchase some, but the quality is hit or miss). The biggest issue was the lack of transparency with pricing. When I asked multiple times through the app what my total charge would be for the upgrade, the responses were vague and avoided giving a clear number. Based on what was communicated — and confirmed by others I showed it to — I expected a much lower cost. I ended up being charged $150 more than what I was led to believe. To make matters worse, they even charged me twice for that large, unexpected amount. One charge posted, and another is still pending. We were about 10 minutes late for pickup, but that didn’t matter — the company’s driver was 35 minutes late themselves. The tequila tasting portion was also a disappointment; it was more of a sales pitch than an actual tasting. Overall, this was a very poor experience and not worth the money. I’ve traveled to many countries and booked numerous experiences through this same app, but this one was by far the most disappointing.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Know ahead of time! Our...

Cherie_K, Oct 2025

Know ahead of time! Our family of four paid $50 per person for this ATV ride. We were scheduled to be picked up at 1:10 PM at our hotel and the shuttle did not get here until an hour later. The ride to the excursion was an hour away and coming back it took about two hours because, they went clear out of the way to drop another couple off. So our ATV ride that was supposed to start at 2 o’clock did not start until 4 o’clock. When you get there, they charge an extra $25 per person for an automatic ATV. And they want another $25 per person for insurance. And they want $25 cash for the park entry (which we did know ahead of time) If you deny the insurance you have to put $1000 hold on your credit card . This excursion ended up costing us double! And water is not provided! Was so upset with all the charges and waiting for so long to start this ride that we weren’t even excited to go! Our tour guide was great. Just the whole situation before hand was a total hassle and disappointing!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello, we’re very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. We’d like to look into what you mentioned about transportation in more detail, as our guests’ time is extremely valuable and this is definitely not the type of service we aim to provide. Regarding the activity and vehicle upgrade, automatic models are not only more comfortable but also tend to be faster. As for the insurance, it is always completely optional; if a guest chooses not to purchase it, a temporary hold is placed on the credit card as protection in case of any damage. If the tour ends without any issues, that hold is released immediately. We’re also concerned about what you mentioned regarding water availability, as we do have hydration stations after each activity. If they were not accessible or not properly communicated, we’d like to investigate that further. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience this helps us improve and prevent similar situations in the future. If you’re willing, please send the name and reservation number to community@cactustours.com so we can follow up with you personally.

They try squeeze every penny out of you they can

Anna_H, Aug 2025

It’s sad how cactus has changed over the years. They sucker you in with reasonable Atv prices then tell you when you get there there’s no insurance and they’ll put a $1000 hold on your card unless you buy insurance. They pressure you to buy medical. And then inform you you have the most basic Atv (non automatic). It was $360 for our group to upgrade to a private tour that included property damage insurance and automatics. But wait! When we got out there they gave us the non automatic and it was a big delay and hooha to get it fixed. They said sorry it was a misunderstanding smh. We sat there and argued for 20 minutes before they agreed to give us what we paid for. Not the cactus of the past. These guys are out to empty your pockets. Plus the $25 park entrance fee per person they want in cash. If it weren’t for the location I’d say take a leap cactus!!!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Anna, Let me explain: the vehicle insurance is completely optional for each of our visitors and may vary depending on the type of vehicle. If you decide not to purchase it, a temporary hold is placed on your card, which can also vary depending on the vehicle. Additionally, the medical insurance is also totally optional. We would like to thoroughly investigate what you mentioned regarding the vehicles and the delay you experienced, as this is not a common situation and we want to review it properly. We truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience, as it helps us identify areas of opportunity and improve our service day by day. To assist you better, could you please email us at community@cactustours.com with your full name and reservation number so we can review your case in detail and follow up appropriately?

Bool your private tour with Leon!

Leon was the absolute best tour we had a mix crowd of experienced and non experienced riders and he watched and made sure we all got the best out of the tour based on interests.

Sean_K, May 2025

They’ll try to nickel and dime you at every turn. Go with a more local vendor - this place was way too institutionalized

Response from Host, May 2025

Scam Tour

Montreal_M, Jan 2025

I thought we were going to have a wonderful time, but upon arrival and when we checked-in, I was hit with the insurances scam. I knew they had optional insurance, and I was going to opt out of it. II've driven ATV's before, and I didn't want to send the extra money. The sale's clerk informed us that if we don't get the insurance that there would be a $1500 hold on my card which we didn't have. Then when trying to cancel the trip we were informed that if we cancel that they wouldn't take us back to the hotel, and we are in the middle of the desert. I phone did not have reception. Please pick another ATV tour that don't scan American out of additional $300

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Pack Your Patience and Wallet

Theresa_C, Jul 2024

While the ATVing was fun, much about this experience was frustrating. Our reservation was for 11, planning it to fit in comfortably with evening activities. By the time we checked in and then waited for our assigned guide, we didn't actually leave until 12:15. Thankfully we brought face coverings, or we would have had to pay for them. Halfway through the riding, we stopped at a rest area that has snacks and drinks. The description of the excursion states water is provided. The break would be a great time to provide that but no, you needed to purchase it. We were told the free water was at the main building, but we couldn't get it there either. Between the rest break, one of the ATVs breaking down, and another getting stuck, total riding time was 60 minutes. Not worth it.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the ATV ride itself, but we're truly sorry for the inconveniences you experienced during your tour. We apologize for the delay in starting your tour and the issues with water availability, as well as the mechanical problems with the ATVs. Your comments are valuable to us, and we'll address these concerns with our team to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all our guests in the future. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team if you’d like to discuss this further. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide you with a better experience next time.

Fun tour with hidden fees

Erica_M, Jul 2024

I will say that the excursion was fun and our tour guide was great. However, the additional hidden fees are ridiculous. If you can’t drive a clutch you have to upgrade your atv, which was an additional $50 on top of the $25pp to get in. Then, you had to pay for face covering to go under your helmet to not breathe in any dust, that was $10 each. It stated that water would be provided but you had to pay for it at the break or be thirsty. No one was told that at the beginning because they made everyone put everything in their lockers. My boyfriend and I ended up spending another $200 on top of the $150 that was already paid.

Exceptional Cabo ATV excursion

UE_B, May 2024

Cactus tour ATV was excellent!! The ATV obstacle course, the tour guide the photos and video coverage eter exceptional. It was my first time on an ATV and they were very good to explain everything. The excursion was enjoyable. I highly recommend it. It is a stand a long ATV excursion, in the desert and along the beach. I would do the excursion again. Also the tour company was communicative, and the facilities were well taken care of.

Thumbs up - ATV tour

Amy_R, Feb 2024

Private tour is the way to go. Victor was a great guide! Teen boys loved it and the beach is beautiful.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for your comment, always ready to give you the best tour to have an incredible experience. Hope see you again soon and took another ride! Send your greetings to Victor!

Great Experience!!!

Nia_S, Aug 2022

There were some unexpected fees, and we ended up paying more than we expected, such as the entrance fee and insurance fee, as well as having to upgrade because the ATVs you get with the original purchase are so bad and manual driving. Besides that, you get what you pay for because I had a fantastic time. Doing the private tour with Juan was so much fun. He's such a good guide and deserves a raise for sure. This was 10000% the best part of my trip, and I will definitely be returning when I visit Cabo again!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

We are so glad you loved the tour and that it was the highlight of your trip! We can't wait to have you back again soon!

George C, Jul 2017

While it is costly this tour is worth it! We toured through the Baja Desert and then out to a beach along the Pacific Ocean! It was very safe, but we also got up some speed.

Don't buy anything from cactus tour

Evelyn_A, Apr 2026

The place is beautiful, the experience unique, but they don't allow you to shoot photos, and in the end they throw them away and charge you $150 and $300 for theirs. We couldn't bring back any memories of the experience. We felt very sad and disappointed. We dress the place without being able to save a photo. In addition they charge you insurance, and when you make the reservation they never said it. However they offered you another offer when you got there where if you were allowed photos but had to pay $150 additional to those you had already paid , the issue for them of not throwing yourself the photos was for security however on that tour they offered you paying more if you could throw the photos , then as explained the supposed security. Don't take this tour, because you won't have any memories, you just want to get money.
